JasonsWoodworking Hair Sticks

[mwedzi]

I bought 2 hair sticks from JasonsWoodworking and they are so pretty!

I got this one:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=21205533

And this one:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=21205534

He was great to do business with and even refunded half of the already reasonable shipping. He really didn't need to do that, you can charge a couple of bucks for handling and packaging.

Anyway, I'm very happy. The Loero Preto one is a bit hard to get in and especially out of my hair, though. I think my hair may be too kinky for it. The tip is pretty, but it makes getting it out of my hair more difficult. Hopefully I'll get more adept at using it.

[Shermie Girl]

Those are beautiful. And they look lovely in your hair. :D

Thanks for the links. That seller has been added to my faves. :D

[teela1978]

I love how big and bold those are! The colors he uses are gorgeous too.

[RocketDog]

I love how bold they are! They look awesome in your hair, which looks amazing - those curls!!

[Tangerine]

Wow, they are so unusual. Beautiful with the striking colours and strong shapes. Love it!
And they look really striking in your hair :flower:

[SHELIAANN1969]

He does some bold work! He does hearts too, the earrings are adorable. :inlove:

Mwedzi, they look great in your hair, I especially like the pattern on the Loero Preto.

[mwedzi]

Thank you, Shermie, Teela, Rocket, Tangerine, and Shelia!

[little_acorn]

I really like the way the blue on pops in your hair - gorgeous :D

[Delila]

The hairsticks are lovely, but your hair is too!

[melikai]

I love how they look in your hair, especially the second one! Very striking.

[Tabitha]

I've already commented in your album how lovely I think those look, mwedzi, and I've been browsing at Jason's Etsy store.

How gorgeous is this one (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=34745030)? :thud:

If it weren't far too big for me in both length and chunkiness, I'd have snapped it up immediately. Hmm ... wondering if he does customs ... :o

[sapphire-o]

He just made this custom stick for me. http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=21692261 Inspired by catladyintown's custom stick. I wanted a "Snow White" color combo. :) Not exactly a fan of the Disney movie, but mostly because my little guy looks just like Disney's Snow White. :D

[embee]

Urrrgh. *Another* maker on my list!

Those are quite unlike other sticks I've seen, very nice. :)

[nmarie33]

Those are cool, they look like little flying saucers!

[Islandgrrl]

Those are some really cool hairsticks! Very attention getting and they look really lovely in your hair! Wear them well!

[Talleen]

So I'm curious about these sticks.... are they easy to work with? Does anyone have any action shots they would like to share?

[Tabitha]

I have a couple of his sticks but no action shots I'm afraid. They have a lovely smooth finish and I like their chunkiness. Jason's great to work with (one was a special order shorter version of one of his listings).

I absolutely LOVE this one (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41869709) - fabulous contrast of woods! but sadly I can't do the sort of wrapped/Chinese bun that would suit it best.

[DizzyFairy]

Those are great stix! I am a HUGE fan of hair stix! I am running out of space for them all! :)

[SimplyViki]

Wow, I never would have looked twice at those sticks (much to big for me), but they look amazing in your hair. Excellent choice. Your hair is lovely, by the way. You've got some great shine going on there.

[Prism]

Your hair is gorgeous, and the sticks look fabulous. Nice style. I like the boldness, as others have commented. Thanks for the link!

Thanks Wendy.

Ok so i was totally drooling over this stick http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41642609, and someone snapped it up :-(

But wanted to wait until I received my timberstone sticks to see if I like thicker sticks, Oh well I guess thats what I get. If an LHCer bought it please post pics!

[Alveradis]

Those are very nice sticks,also well crafted.The acrylic toppers really pop in the sun; i purchased these two
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=25261595
and
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=25261594

I'm trying to do some action pics the next time:)

[MandyBeth]

Well, now I need some UFO sticks...

I'm trying NOT to buy toys I can't wear yet. This isn't helping.

Oooooo pretty!! I'm personally not a fan of yellow (it looks more amber to me). But that is soooo pretty and unique! And the dalmation too.... Good choices!

[Alveradis]

So here the promised action pics ;)

I just saw these pictures-- lovely, Alveradis! Those both look terrific in your beautiful buns.

[Talleen]

Here is a pic of my latest stick from them...sorry about the pic, I'm new at this whole taking pics of the back of my head thing

[Liave Ekeli]

I just bought this:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=28174045

I definitely hadn't planned to buy any more hairtoys for a while, but I couldn't resist this. I can't wait to try a more chunky type of hairstick...
I want more already, but I don't have the money to spend, even if some of those I want are on sale :p I'll have to be satisfied with one, for now...

[BelleBot]

Ooo, he's got a sale on at the moment so I've bought 2 sticks I've had my eye on for a while now! :D Can't wait till they turn up.

[phistash]

I really like these sticks. I'm not going to be buying any more hair toys for a while, but I am favoriting this seller. I like thicker, more sturdy sticks, anyway, especially since I tend to break things.

Love the purple inlay in that first one, BelleBot! I think it's going to look great in your hair. And the second, double ended ebony one has been in my favs for a while... glad it went to a fellow LHCer :D

[little_acorn]

Nice choice BelleBot - I especially love the double ended :)

[gmdiaz]

Bellebot, those are going to look really great in your hair!

[saskia_madding]

This (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=28235481) is the one I had my eye on. Someone snapped it up while I was considering it though, so I can only beg for action pics. Pretty please!

[Liave Ekeli]

I just received my stick today and thought I'd share;

Those sticks are gorgeous, and they look so good in your hair. I've bookmarked this site for future reference.

Wow, that IS pretty! However, I do think it's a little bit of a bummer that the aqua piece that is so interesting would be hidden inside the wearer's bun. Like a private treasure though :) :hmm:

[saskia_madding]

I think it would be perfect for Chinese wrapped buns. There is usually a bit in the middle that gets shown off with that hairstyle. Only thing is that I never do Chinese buns, so I guess it's good that someone else got it? But I'm still pouting! :(

[BelleBot]

Got my hair sticks today! They've been sat in the post office all weekend (bank holiday) as I wasn't in to accept delivery on Saturday so today I finally got to go and pick them up. They're so beautiful and well crafted.
Here they are. Pictures are clickable.

[chloeishere]

Those look great, BelleBot! I especially like the ebony/ tulipwood stick in your hair, but they are both just stunning!

[little_acorn]

Both stunning, but I agree with Chloe, that ebony tipped one is gorgeous in your hair :D

[pointydog]

Bellebot, those look great!

He doesn't have anything long enough for me (I think) at the moment...hope he gets to work on that soon!

[Sha-na-na]

Got one! A custom too! What a deal!
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=28695483

I love the color of Santos Zebra. I needed a stick like this for summer. Looks thick too - just what I needed for my thick hair. Mmmmmmmm... Pics when I get it!

[Sha-na-na]

As promised, The Santos Zebra custom:
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t296/coolbeansmellon/IMG_0428.jpg

I love dark colors in my hair. The tickness of this piece works real well in my hair and the hold is incredible. When you turn the stick to slide it against the scalp, you can really feel it grab. :)

[chloeishere]

Wow, Sha-na-na, I really like that in your hair! It's really a bold yet elegant statement!

[Sha-na-na]

Okay, here are my custom sticks!
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t296/coolbeansmellon/IMG_0468.jpg
They are just the right thickness, and they hold my hair *gasp* better than ANY stick I have ever used! :D Yup.

Action shot:

[wavykisses]

His sticks are really pretty I'm considering to buy one myself
Do they hold well? because they are on the thicker side
How do you feel them?, my hair is really fine
Do you think they will hold on fine hair?.

[catspank]

I absolutely love his older style funky sticks like the awesome flying saucer ones mwedzi is modeling in the first post. I've been thinking about possibly getting a custom ... maybe once my bazillion other pending customs have been paid for ;)

[dajanchen]

Nightshade is making me a custom on a stick from Jason. I am really curious about it and I can´t wait. :)

and this one
http://www.etsy.com/listing/58725589/exotic-african-blackwood-with-dolphins

probably at the end I will buy one anyway :)

You could always convo him about a custom that's a bit thinner than what he has listed :eyebrows:

Aaahh enabler I ordered a custom, he has been sick so it may take a while.
This is the one I ordered
http://www.etsy.com/listing/36070031/lava-flow-inlace-and-african-blackwood
it seems a little thinner on the bottom:D
what do you guys think?

I see my job here is done :D

I really like the one you ordered, it's got a great top! It's a pretty thick stick though, did you ask him to make it thinner?


ETA: Is that a Hacksaw007 stick in your avatar? Love his stuff :heart:

I will ask him I think he hasn't started to making it because he is sick and yes the stick I'm wearing is a hacksaw I really like them too they are truly beautiful.
I don't know much about hairsticks in fact the only one I have is the hacksaw and one plain from manyhorses, what would be a good thickness for a hairstick? I like them on the thicker side
but I don't know how much will be to thick.

If you are happy with the thickness of the hacksaw stick, you can measure that one and give him the numbers. I would measure around the widest part of the topper and widest part of the hair-wrap part, and the narrowest part of the hair-wrap part.

Too thick, that really depends on the person :) From the etsy description of the one you are getting, it looks like it will be on the thick side. It's 3/4" at widest, which I assume is at the topper, so it's not HUGE or anything ;)

[wavykisses]

He just convo me back and said he is gonna make a slim version for me
I'm so happy can't wait to have it
